What are Damaged Goods? Damaged Goods are products that have been ruined, marred and cast out for destruction. Damaged Goods are hurting people who hurt other people and produce more Damaged Goods. The church has been damaged, beginning with the leadership and spreading throughout the congregation. At some point, everyone has been damaged, caused damage or at least know someone who has been damaged. Several people have contributed to this book by sharing their personal experiences of being hurt by the church. In addition to the stories, there are moments set aside for the reader to reflect on his/her own experiences as a Damaged Good and as one who may have caused damage to others.
